@rxpro19 - The opening instrumental was originally released in 1975 - but 1976 was the point when WMAR first used it as its news theme.

@maximushuts - Within a year or two of this clip, Rogers was fired from WMAR after many years with them. His serious, no-nonsense style was increasingly out of place in the changed climate of news that followed in the wake of the "Happy Talk" style that gained a foothold in the late 1960's. It should be noted that WMAR was once "a contenduh" in the news ratings - until rival WBAL hired Rolf Hertsgaard and revamped its newscasts near decade's end.

@springloadedchicken - This sure was 1976. Sept. 27, 1976, based on the lead story.

Poor guy didn't handle that very smoothly at all. I certainly wouldn't have done any better though! Great clip.
